Things Are Gonna Change!

So, I am graduating, and that means a lot of change in my life.... Sometime. But I am thinking about some new resolutions that I am going to start right now. You know, like some new years resolutions, but these will be different because there are actually lots of changes going on in my life, instead of just the numbers of the year changing.

One thing that I am totally excited about is that Kira and I are both going to start working out, and that will be sweet! We are going to be living in IF, so anyone that wants to join us is welcome, for those of you that we will be close to again.

Another thing that I am going to start doing is writing in my journal. I have a really nice one that I can start fresh in, and I was thinking about how I can keep myself writing in it constantly, and I decided that I will keep it with me when I can. For instance, for the next month or so, it will be in the bag that I take to school, and I will write in it while I am there. I think its important for me, even if I only write a few things about my day or whatever, to be consistent in my journal because then when things come up that are really important, I will be able to keep those things and pass them on to my little girl, Anna, and any of my other children.

Speaking of Anna, we had a blast the last couple of weeks, going to the Hogle Zoo, to IF, and to the Salt Lake Aquarium. Here are some pictures!

Kira found a really cool hat at the zoo. A few actually, and we had some fun trying them on. She looked really hot in this one.


So, we found this new ice cream place across from The Edwards in IF, and it was really cool to watch them make our ice cream. They pour the mixture for whatever kind of ice cream you want (custard, fat free, regular, etc.) into a metal mixing bowl, then add in your ingredients, and then they use some freezing agent to freeze your ice cream while they mix it. SO fun to watch, as steam flows all over. The ice cream was good, but Coldstone's tastes better, so you go here for the show. Also, its a little more pricey than Coldstone even, so this is one of those places that you should really just go to once to see it done, and then Coldstone is the choice from then on.


Anna loves to watch the FISH! But she still isn't saying her F's so instead of "fish" she just says "Sh!" But she got really excited and LOVED the aquarium. There were SH all over, and she got to watch them all, big and small!

Ok, so the octopus was basically sweet looking and it was giving us a show, moving all over the place. That was cool.

The sharks were in a giant bowl with magnifying glass, so it looked like they were right there in front of us. It was so cool! Also, I don't have the picture here, bit in the same room, we got to reach down into the water and touch a stingray! They were cool feeling, like they had a super soft furry coat! Not what I expected. That was fun, and Kira even tried it. I didn't know if she would.

Kira's favorite sandwich place. I love her. She loves these sandwiches. I love any sandwiches. So, therefore, I love to go to this place. It is at the This is the Place Monument, where Sam and Jess got engagged to be marred, so that is pretty cool too. And right now they have a buy one get one free thing going on so through April, if you go there and say you saw their ad in the student newspaper, then you get that deal! Pretty sweet! I am a fan! (Their Kaiser rolls are the bomb diggity!)
